ELECTRIC VEHICLE INFRASTRUCTURE PLANNING
DC Fast Charging Index Weighted Factors• Assuming DCFC users will charge at places with shorter
average dwell times• New DCFC EVSE needed where it currently doesn’t exist
currently• Assuming high average daily traffic values indicate
locations of driving frequency and proximity to highway exits for convenient charging
2,400 EVs in San Antonio in 2019
1.5 EVs per 1,000 people
253 Public charging ports
1 Charging port per 10 EVs
45,000 EVs projected by 2030
10,011 New ports needed by 2030

CLIMATE INITIATIVE: POWERED BY SAN ANTONIO
EV Charging InfrastructureBuilding a modern EV charging system can increase consumer confidence in electric vehicles. The City of San Antonio, working with CPS Energy, is analyzing ways to enhance publicly accessible and private charging infrastructure. In addition to analyzing opportunities to electrify the City's fleet, the EVSA program unifies programs, policies, education and infrastructure initiatives to make San Antonio a more EV-friendly city.
Electric Vehicle & Solar ReadinessEV and Solar Ready building codes for new construction are designed to reduce costs of installing EV chargers and solar panels by incorporating it into new construction instead of a retrofit. Preparing homes and businesses to have the capability to utilize solar energy and charge electric vehicles keeps San Antonio competitive and resilient as consumer choices and shifts in the market occur.
